Afghan prisoners freed from Bagram despite US protests
Sixty-five detainees are being released from Afghanistan's Bagram detention centre despite strong protests by the US, the BBC understands.
Washington argues the move is dangerous, saying it has evidence the men were responsible for carrying out attacks on Nato and Afghan troops.
But Kabul insists there is not enough evidence against the detainees.
Hundreds of prisoners at Bagram jail have been freed since it was put under Afghan control in March last year.
